We had an old farm house moved in from about 12 miles away. Built the foundation ourselves hired the move. They lifted the house on the Monday before Thanksgiving (2003) and moved/set it the next day. Went about 1 1/2 miles on highway - the rest was county roads. We were AMAZED at the lack of plaster damage. We were expecting piles of it on the floors, but virtually NONE came loose. We removed the chimney (down to the ground), and did some other work to lessen the cost. Ended up costing about $7000 + $700 for utility company to come out and waste time watching (they did "johnny pole" 5 lines). Drive the route and look for obstacles (trees, plower lines, telephone lines, bridges, culverts, etc). Call a couple of moving companies and the utilitiy company for estimates. Is this a two story or one?
